My father lived the last two years of his life at Live Oak Estates. After suffering from a stroke eight years ago, he had been in and out of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living homes, including some of the most expensive options in town. We had mostly negative experiences at these places and a couple of positive ones, but none more positive than at Live Oak. Though no place is perfect, the staff at Live Oak were consistently kind, caring and attentive to my father. We found that, while most care facilities had a few great staff members, one or two jaded individuals could make life miserable for my father, sending him into anger and depression, which is why the consistency of kindness at Live Oak was so significant and meaningful for him and for his family. Live Oak is a small, intimate setting with less staff turnover than other facilities we experienced. This allowed my father to get to know the staff, to appreciate and to trust them. We’re lucky that we found this place and that my father lived the last years of his life feeling cared for and appreciated.

I can''t say enough good things about the care my mother received at Live Oak. She had previously been in a large senior apartment complex and was quite isolated. Live Oak was so warm, friendly, and had such a feeling of home about it. She received excellent care and the staff treated her (and us) like family. She was able to eat her preferred meals at her preferred times. She loved having small children and dogs visit - made it even more like home. The staff was so kind and compassionate with us when she passed away. I would recommend the facility for anyone looking for excellent care.
